2016 HARLEY-DAVIDSON SOFTAIL SLIMTransport Canada Recall #2016420
The official notice
Defect
On certain motorcycles equipped with a black-coloured clutch master cylinder, the hydraulic clutch system may not be able to generate enough lift to disengage the clutch after being parked for an extended period of time. If this occurs, the driver could lose control of the motorcycle at start up if it is left in gear or when it is first shifted into gear, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will flush the clutch system and rebuild the clutch master cylinder.
